With WrestleMania 41 now passed, there have been some movement between the brands with WWE NXT talent jumping to the main roster in recent weeks.
On the April 25 SmackDown After Mania, former NXT Tag Team Champions Fraxiom officially became part of the blue brand roster.
While other stars have been appearing on both Raw and SmackDown, it will be interesting to see who will finish up their runs on NXT before making an official move.
Here are seven WWE stars to potentially leave NXT and join the main roster.
7. Roxanne Perez
Since the beginning of 2025, Roxanne Perez has been consistent presence on the WWE main roster, most notably setting the record for longest duration in the Women’s Royal Rumble Match at the titular event.
Perez has appeared on Raw and even competed in the Women’s Elimination Chamber, but she is still active on the NXT brand.
After making an appearance on the WWE Raw After WrestleMania 41 and facing Rhea Ripley on the April 28 episode, it looks like the former NXT Women’s Champion should be the next talent to make the red brand her permanent home.
“The Prodigy” has showcased every skill necessary to be among the top talent on the Raw women’s division, which should lead to some tantalising encounters with the likes of IYO SKY, Liv Morgan and Becky Lynch down the line.

6. Giulia
Roxanne Perez has not been alone in causing havoc on the Monday Night Raw brand with another former NXT Women’s Champion joining her side.
Surprising many fans, Giulia cemented her heel turn on NXT by joining Perez in attacking IYO SKY and Stephanie Vaquer on the April 21 Raw After WrestleMania 41.
On the April 28 edition of Raw, Giulia once again joined Perez in a post match assault on Rhea Ripley that led to SKY coming out to make the save.
Following these interactions with the top talent on the red brand, it seems inevitable that Giulia will get her main roster call-up after just a few short months on the NXT brand.

5. Ethan Page
Signing with WWE in May 2024, Ethan Page became the fastest rising star on the NXT brand.
Capturing the NXT Championship less than two months after his debut, “All Ego” has displayed his impressive talking ability and character work to shine as a top star on the show.
Page has everything it takes to make a seamless transition to the WWE main roster and become an instant success.
Whether it be on Raw or SmackDown, it is only a matter of time before Page makes his way to the main roster and could quickly find his footing.

4. Lola Vice
Lola Vice has been among the consistently featured female stars on the WWE NXT brand since debuting in 2022.
The former MMA fighter has used her unique character embracing her culture and fighting ability to become a standout on NXT.
After shining against the likes of Roxanne Perez and Jaida Parker over the past year, it has become clear that Lola is destined to be on the WWE main roster.
With experience facing off with main roster stars like Shayna Baszler and Natalya, Vice is more than ready to make her way to Raw or SmackDown sooner rather than later.

3. Tony D’Angelo
Recent reports have indicated that Tony D’Angelo has become the latest WWE NXT star being discussed for a main roster debut.
Having accomplished nearly everything there is to on the brand outside of the NXT Championship, The D’Angelo Family leader has improved by leaps and bounds since arriving in WWE.
One of the first characters introduced during the WWE NXT 2.0 era, D’Angelo has seen all of his contemporaries get called up to the main roster.
From Bron Breakker and Carmelo Hayes to Grayson Waller and The Creed Brothers, D’Angelo should be able to match their success when he departs from NXT and heads to the WWE main roster.

2. Trick Williams
Starting on the NXT brand alongside Carmelo Hayes during the 2.0 era in 2021, Trick Williams has come a long way over the course of the past four years.
Going from a lackey to a two-time NXT Champion, Williams has skyrocketed up the ladder to become one of the most popular stars on the brand.
While he has recently underwent an attitude change, Trick has showcased the kind of range necessary to succeed on Raw or SmackDown.
Whether it be a reunion with Carmelo Hayes or immediately competing against top stars like Cody Rhodes, Trick will be able to rise the ranks in no time once he gets his main roster call-up.

1. Stephanie Vaquer
On the April 21 WWE Raw After WrestleMania 41, NXT Women’s Champion Stephanie Vaquer appeared to challenge WWE Women’s World Champion IYO SKY to a singles match.
While this could have been a one-off appearance, Vaquer once again competed in the ring against Ivy Nile on the April 28 episode, picking up a win against the American Made member.
“La Primera” has an aura unlike any other female star on the WWE main roster, which should make an immediate standout when she makes her official call-up.
With a litany of dream matches against the likes of Rhea Ripley, Bianca Belair and Tiffany Stratton, Vaquer has to be the most exciting prospect that could make their way from NXT to Raw or SmackDown.
